The present study explores police violence during the riots in London and Gezi Park protests in Istanbul. This study puts forth that the rise of social injustice in the UK and the erosion of plural democracy in Turkey clarify the paradox of state intervention because the two states prioritized rapid repression of uprising without consolidating public trust and social justice in the society. This comparative study reveals that the liberal and non-religious elements of the capitalist ruling system in the UK contain similar fractions of state repression when compared to the authoritarian and religious elements of the capitalist ruling system in Turkey. The authors conclude that police violence endures the social control of dissident communities while it maintains the sustainability of different capitalist ruling systems in the periods of social unrest.

英国和土耳其的社会动荡：重新思考警察对持不同政见者社区的暴力行为

本研究探讨了伦敦骚乱和伊斯坦布尔盖兹公园抗议期间警察的暴力行为。本研究提出，英国社会不公的兴起和土耳其多元民主的侵蚀，澄清了国家干预的悖论，因为两国优先考虑快速镇压起义，而没有巩固社会的公信力和社会正义。这项比较研究表明，与土耳其资本主义统治体系的威权和宗教元素相比，英国资本主义统治体系的自由和非宗教元素包含类似的国家镇压部分。
